Trash Palace
89b Niagara Street, Toronto, ON
For our 2012 edition, the 8 Fest decided to focus on animation for its hands-on methods of bringing life to still images, or as a means of conveying what can only be expressed by abstracting shapes and bodies, or as a vocabulary for measuring tensions between the static and the kinetic. In addition to the works received as submissions, the 8 fest has commissioned new animated works by visual artists already working with film and visual artists whose bodies of work seriously implied moving pictures. Films by Tara Nelson, Robbie Land, Chloe Reyes, Leslie Supnet, Kate Wilson, Julie Voyce, Stephen Broomer, Daryl Vocat, Tanya Read, and Allyson Mitchell + Deirdre Logue.
All events (except *) at:
Trash Palace, 89-B Niagara Street (Just west of Bathurst)
Tickets $5 per event/$25 festival pass
